Could Ched still do a job for us?

Name one.

Name one.

Well done to Ched Evans for playing well in the Championship for a few games for the first time since 2007-8. Here's hoping it doesn't last.

More amazingly, I learn from the Preston highlights that Ben Woodburn is still playing professional football. Strange days indeed.

Maybe, once the hotel re-opens!

He has first hand experience:

• Hotel reception check in
• Emergency evacuation procedures via the fire escape.
• Works well as part of a team.
• Don't even have to ask him to get his hands dirty.

On the other hand he is an absolute wrong 'un, regardless of the law's yay or nay stance and we can well do without the absolute circus his return would invariably bring!

Not that one, another one.

We don't need him or the attention he'd bring.

He's too old and we don't need blokes "who can do a job" in the way that Warnock used to sign all and sundry up front.

If we do anything, we need a loanee from the Prem (if we have a slot available) to try and see us over the line, not a has-been/never-was like bloody Ched Evans.

Didn't we resign him in wilders second season and he hardly kicked a ball?

28 goals in 143 games in the championship

Eni Aluko would say that's nearly 1 a game

Ched's 33. He's got a couple more seasons in him at Championship level.

I'm saying he would be a decent off-the-bench option if we are playing Championship football next season. This one could be Billy's swansong.

I thought you were taking the piss

If we are playing Championship football next season, we would likely have two decent off the bench options that are ten years younger than him in Osula and Jebbo

He's not an 'absolute wrong un'. He's worked hard and not put a foot wrong since May 2011 when he was in his early 20's. He was eventually found not guilty of any wrongdoing and released. Contrast that with eg McBurnie, who's been convicted of drunk driving, cautioned for violent behaviour and is now facing an assault charge. Ched has a clean record.

And what 'absolute circus' would his return to the Lane bring? Is it a 'circus' at Preston? Was it at Fleetwood?

He didn't set the world on fire on his previous brief return but where was the 'circus' then? You can argue against his return for footballing reasons, but not due to a quashed charge for an offence 11 years ago.

That is a good shout and I hadn't realised that we still had a slot free. Forest did it with the lad from villa didn't they and it helped their momentum through the winter months

I’m not referring to his conviction and it’s subsequent overturn. The CPS and all those involved has been done to death on here.

What he did didn’t really say much about him as a person.

Popping over for some extra-curricular with a girl he hardly knew that had already opted for his mate at the same time as having a girlfriend back home doesn’t shed him in a good light, does it? That was my point.

The noise when we helped him out before, would reawaken. Yes, to a lesser extent “, but it would still be an unnecessary distraction.

I’m afraid that ship has sailed. There are 100s of strikers we could sign that would not bring any baggage. We should go for one of them.

5 years from now.

Sheffield United draw 0-0 away at Man City. On the same day Ched bags 7 goals for Rhyl against some Caravan Park.

This thread is resurrected. Could he still do a job?

If we get a point at the Emptyhad any time soon I'll pay Ched's wages myself

Being a bit of a rogue isn’t a criminal offence.

I believe the phrase "wrong'un" could cover both criminal and roguish behaviours m'lud

 

[Dkc]

I wonder how many people were angelic role models aged 22. I did far worse things at that age, and no one refers to me as a 'wrong un' today.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I'm all team Ched Dkc but it doesn't mean he "can do a job" for the third time asking.

Move on.

I'm not advocating for us signing him, however he did play exceptionally well at the weekend.
He held the ball up so well, got a great assist and 2 goals.
Having said all that it was against Blackburn, who despite thier league position look like a poor league one side.
